Method:
This sweater is knit from the neck down holding two strands of yarn together. After the body and sleeves are done
you pick up stitches in the cast on edge and work the collar from the bottom up using only a single strand of yarn.
After the knitting is done you embroider a row of chain stitch to emphasize the wavy line in the body.

Yarn:
300 (350) 400 (450) 500 (580) 650 (750) grams of #Nutiden from Höner och Eir - 100% Swedish wool
The yarn is held double throughout except for in the collar where it is held single.
#Nutiden held double equals aran/worsted weight with around 250m / 100g or 80 yards / 1 oz
Meteredge and yardage in the size-table are calculated in single strand (yarn is held double in the pattern). If you are
knitting in a thicker yarn held single you only need around half of this.

Needles and notions:
3,5mm circular needle, at least 80 cm long.
5 stitch markers.
Wool needle for weaving in ends.
Crochet hook size 3,5mm or wool needle for
embroidery.

Gauge:
With yarn held double
Broken rib stitch - 14 sts x 21 rounds = 10 cm/4 in
Stockinette stitch - 16 sts x 25 rounds = 10 cm/4 in

Measurements:
Recommended ease is 5-20 cm at the bust. All measurements are of finished garments. Measure your bust at its
fullest point, add desired amount of ease, and then pick the size which bust circumference comes closest.
Pictures are showing a size 3 on a 95 cm bust.
